Week 9 Start 'Em and Sit 'Em

Disclaimer ... Before you start reading, understand that we are not in the business of stating the obvious and wasting your time (or ours), so you won't be reading here why you need to start Aaron Rodgers, Adrian Peterson, Calvin Johnson or any other top-tier players. We're here to help you evaluate players you might be on the fence about.

Beanie Wells showed us a lot in Week 8 at Baltimore. He proved that he could play through pain. He also was able to shine despite a tough matchup.

Wells was a question mark to play against the Ravens with a bad knee, but he stepped up and had 22 carries for 83 yards and a touchdown. It wasn't his best statistical outing, but it might be his finest performance of the season.

Wells said the knee will bother him all year, but as long as he's out there he should remain in your starting lineup in all leagues. And that includes this week in a fantastic matchup against the Rams.

St. Louis has been terrible in run defense all season. The Rams have allowed a running back to score or reach double digits in Fantasy points in all but one game this year, which was Week 6 against Green Bay. Even in last week's upset victory against New Orleans, Pierre Thomas still managed to find the end zone.

Wells, who was started in 21 percent of leagues on CBSSports.com last week, has a good history against the Rams with double digits in Fantasy points in two of three meetings. The two times he got at least 14 carries he finished with more than 80 total yards and a touchdown. In fact, every time this season that Wells has at least 14 carries he's finished with double digits in Fantasy points.

The Cardinals should continue to lean on Wells this week, and Fantasy owners should as well. As long as he's active he should remain in your starting lineup.

Eli Manning (at NE): Manning is headed toward a difficult stretch of games to close the season, but he continues to play well and should be started in all leagues. He has at least 22 Fantasy points in four of his past five games and is coming off a tremendous outing against Miami with 349 passing yards and two touchdowns. The Patriots have allowed every quarterback they have faced to throw multiple touchdowns or pass for 300 yards, and Manning should keep that streak alive even if Hakeem Nicks (hamstring) is out or limited. (Started in 71 percent of leagues in Week 8)Matt Ryan (at IND): Ryan has struggled this season with just one game with more than 20 Fantasy points, but he has played well coming off the bye in his career and should have success against the Colts. Ryan has at least 19 Fantasy points in two of three games after a bye, and he will get Julio Jones (hamstring) back after being out the past two games. The Colts have also allowed at least four touchdown passes in two of their past four games, and Ryan should find success in this matchup. (Started in 59 percent of leagues in Week 7)Matt Cassel (vs. MIA): Cassel has an amazing matchup this week against the Dolphins. Miami has allowed every opposing quarterback to pass for multiple touchdowns or throw for 300 yards, and Cassel should keep that streak alive at home. He got a new toy in Week 8 with the emergence of rookie receiver Jon Baldwin, and his receiving corps is rounding into shape with Dwayne Bowe and Steve Breaston. Cassel has been consistently inconsistent this year, but this is a week to trust him if you have Cam Newton or Matthew Stafford on a bye. (Started in 23 percent of leagues in Week 8)Tim Tebow (at OAK): There is tremendous risk involved in starting Tebow in any leagues because if he struggles early he could be benched. But the matchup suggests Tebow should do well this week, and he's familiar with the Raiders. Tebow played at Oakland last year and had 138 passing yards and a touchdown and 78 rushing yards and a touchdown, and the Raiders have allowed five quarterbacks to reach at least 19 Fantasy points this season. We'll find out how Tebow does with his job on the line, and hopefully he can take advantage of this matchup like most of Oakland's opponents have already this year. (Started in 38 percent of leagues in Week 8)Mark Sanchez (at BUF): Sanchez might be one of the most underrated Fantasy options this season. You would never expect that he has only one game with fewer than 17 Fantasy points, which was at Baltimore, and four outings with at least 20 points on the year. He should have another solid game this week against the Bills, who have allowed four quarterbacks to reach at least 20 Fantasy points in their past six games. Sanchez had 18 Fantasy points at Buffalo last year, and he should be able to post similar stats in this matchup coming off a bye week. (Started in 29 percent of leagues in Week 7)

Sit 'Em

Ryan Fitzpatrick (vs. NYJ): Fitzpatrick played well in Week 7 against Washington with 18 Fantasy points, but he should struggle to reach that total against the Jets this week. The Jets have not allowed multiple touchdowns to any opposing quarterback since Week 1, which includes matchups against Tom Brady, Philip Rivers and Joe Flacco. Fitzpatrick did have 24 Fantasy points against the Jets at home last season, but that included seven carries for 74 yards. He only has 44 rushing yards on the season this year, and he should not be considered a starting Fantasy option this week. (Started in 44 percent of leagues in Week 8)Joe Flacco (at PIT): Flacco's outing in Week 1 against the Steelers was one of the biggest surprises of the season when he had 224 passing yards and three touchdowns. He had one more quality game in Week 3 at St. Louis with 33 Fantasy points, but since then he has combined for just 35 Fantasy points in his previous four games. The Steelers have allowed multiple passing touchdowns in their past two games against Kevin Kolb and Brady, but Flacco is averaging just 205 passing yards with four touchdowns, two interceptions and two fumbles in his past three regular season games at Pittsburgh. Flacco does benefit with James Harrison (orbital bone) and LaMarr Woodley (hamstring) banged up, but he's not playing well enough now to trust on the road in a tough matchup. (Started in 45 percent of leagues in Week 8)Matt Hasselbeck (vs. CIN): Hasselbeck was robbed of six Fantasy points in Week 8 against Indianapolis when the first touchdown Nate Washington scored was ruled a backward pass. He finished with 14 Fantasy points against the Colts and now has just 20 Fantasy points in his past two games combined. This is also a tough matchup for him since the Bengals have done a solid job in pass defense this season. They have not allowed multiple touchdowns to an opposing quarterback in their past five games, and no quarterback has reached 20 Fantasy points against them this year. (Started in 32 percent of leagues in Week 8)Jay Cutler (at PHI): The times to trust Cutler is usually when he's playing at home because he's struggled on the road this year. In three games at New Orleans, Detroit and Tampa Bay in London he has averaged just 13 Fantasy points with 15 points the high against the Lions. The Eagles also might have turned the corner with their pass defense the past three games against Buffalo, Washington and Dallas with only two passing touchdowns allowed and six interceptions over that span. Cutler did have 34 Fantasy points against the Eagles last year, but that was at home. This should be a much different outcome. (Started in 41 percent of leagues in Week 7)Colt McCoy (at HOU): Not only is this a tough matchup for McCoy since the Texans have only allowed one quarterback to reach 20 Fantasy points, including matchups with Ben Roethlisberger, Flacco and Hasselbeck, but McCoy has struggled of late with just 21 Fantasy points combined in his past two games. We expect McCoy to play well in Week 10 against St. Louis, but we would ignore him in Week 9 based on his recent play and a tough opponent. (Started in 18 percent of leauges in Week 8)

Bust alert: Josh Freeman (at NO): Freeman played great against the Saints in Week 6 with 24 Fantasy points, and he has 558 passing yards and four touchdowns in his past two games against New Orleans. But I'm expecting a letdown for Freeman this week. The Saints just got embarrassed by the winless Rams in Week 8, and they should rebound at home. In their two previous losses this year against Green Bay in Week 1 and Tampa Bay in Week 6 they have shut down their next opponent, holding Chicago to 13 points in Week 2 and Indianapolis to seven points in Week 7. Freeman also has struggled on the road this year with an average of 10 Fantasy points in three games when you factor in Week 7 against Chicago in London. If Tampa Bay wins this game it will likely be because of LeGarrette Blount and not because of a standout performance from Freeman. (Started in 47 percent of leagues in Week 7)

Michael Bush (vs. DEN): Bush is expected to start for the injured Darren McFadden (foot), and he should perform well. He started three games for McFadden in 2010 and had two games with double digits in Fantasy points. The Broncos have only allowed three running backs to reach double digits in Fantasy points this year, but one was McFadden in Week 1 when he had 22 carries for 150 yards. Bush also showed he can be a capable replacement for McFadden in Week 7 against Kansas City when he first got hurt, and Bush finished with 17 carries for 99 yards and two catches for 12 yards. (Started in 23 percent of leagues in Week 7)Jackie Battle (vs. MIA): Battle played well last week against the Chargers, and he should have a repeat performance this week. It was good to see him get the majority of carries in Week 8, and he now has at least 16 carries in his past three outings as Kansas City appears to have found its new featured rusher. The Dolphins have only allowed three running backs to reach double digits in Fantasy points, and Ben Tate is the only running back to gain more than 100 rushing yards. But Battle should be used as a No. 2 Fantasy running back in this matchup at home. (Started in 66 percent of leagues in Week 8)LeGarrette Blount (at NO): Blount will return this week after missing the past two games with a knee injury, and he should play well. The Saints have struggled with opposing running backs this season and just got torched by Steven Jackson for 25 carries for 159 yards and two touchdowns and four catches for 32 yards. Blount won't play at that level, but New Orleans has now allowed six running backs to reach double digits in Fantasy points. One of those running backs was Earnest Graham in Week 6 when Blount was out, and he had 17 carries for 109 yards and two catches for 22 yards. Blount is more talented than Graham and should have a solid performance. (Started in 81 percent of leagues in Week 5)Pierre Thomas (vs. TB): Thomas will likely see increased playing time again with Mark Ingram (heel) either out or limited. He didn't have a great game against St. Louis in Week 8, but he did finish with nine Fantasy points since he scored a touchdown. He now has at least nine Fantasy points in three of his past four games, and he has double digits in Fantasy points in two of his past three meetings with the Bucs. Tampa Bay also has allowed seven touchdowns to opposing running backs and four have reached double digits in Fantasy points. Darren Sproles should obviously remain a must-start Fantasy running back, but Thomas should also be used as a No. 2 Fantasy option this week. (Started in 77 percent of leagues in Week 8)Mike Tolbert (vs. GB): Tolbert will return in Week 9 against Green Bay after sitting out in Week 8 at Kansas City with an injured hamstring. He might get the majority of touches against the Packers with Ryan Mathews (groin) and Curtis Brinkley (concussion) banged up. This isn't the best matchup since Green Bay has been solid in run defense, but the Packers have allowed a running back to reach double digits in Fantasy points in each of their past four games with Willis McGahee, Michael Turner, Jackson and Adrian Peterson. Tolbert has three games with double digits in Fantasy points this year, and he should be successful if Mathews and Brinkley are out as expected. (Started in 50 percent of leagues in Week 7)

Chris Johnson (vs. CIN): We can still hope that Johnson is going to break out of his funk, but there's no guarantee when that will actually happen. He failed to run well in a good matchup in Week 8 against Indianapolis, and the Bengals present a tougher test. Cincinnati has allowed six touchdowns to opposing running backs but only four have reached double digits in Fantasy points. Johnson is now going to share time with Javon Ringer, and if Ringer gets hot then Johnson could remain on the sideline. He only has one touchdown and two games with double digits in Fantasy points, and he's just too inconsistent to trust. (Started in 97 percent of leagues in Week 8)Ryan Torain (vs. SF): Torain, despite getting the chance for increased touches the past three games, has been brutal in his performance. He has three combined Fantasy points against Philadelphia, Carolina and Buffalo, which were all favorable matchups. This week he faces the 49ers, who have allowed the fewest Fantasy points to opposing running backs. Only one running back has scored against San Francisco, which came on a shovel pass by LeSean McCoy, and that includes matchups with Marshawn Lynch, Felix Jones, Cedric Benson, Blount and Jahvid Best. The Redskins have struggled with their offensive line of late, and this might be Torain's last chance as the starter with Tashard Choice now in the mix. (Started in 73 percent of leagues in Week 8)Marshawn Lynch (at DAL): Losing linebacker Sean Lee (dislocated elbow) will hurt Dallas' defense, but the Cowboys have done a good job of stopping the run even with a poor performance in Week 8 against McCoy. Dallas has only allowed three running backs to score rushing touchdowns and four to reach double digits in Fantasy points. Lynch has just two games with double digits in Fantasy points and has averaged only seven points in three games on the road. He also has just one touchdown in his past five road games, and the Cowboys should be angry after being embarrassed by the Eagles last week. (Started in 41 percent of leagues in Week 8)Delone Carter (vs. ATL): Based on a recent trend, this should be Carter's week to score. He has alternated touchdowns with Donald Brown each of the past four games, and Brown scored in Week 8 at Tennessee while Carter was held to nine carries for 46 yards. But all four of those games came with Joseph Addai (hamstring) hurt or limited. He was considered the emergency back against the Titans, but he could return to a more prominent role this week. That would make it a three-headed backfield, and Carter could again see limited carries. The Falcons have also allowed just two touchdowns to opposing running backs in their past five games. (Started in 48 percent of leagues in Week 8)Ryan Grant (at SD): This isn't so much about sitting Grant as it is to start James Starks as a low-end No. 2 running back or flex option. He should run well against the Chargers, who have either allowed a touchdown or 100 rushing yards in their past four games with four reaching double digits in Fantasy points. Starks is coming off a solid outing at Minnesota with 99 total yards in Week 7, and he continues to outshine Grant, who has just 105 total yards in his past three games. Grant is not worth owning in most standard leagues barring an injury to Starks since he has no games with double digits in Fantasy points on the season. (Started in 22 percent of leagues in Week 7)

Bust alert: Rashard Mendenhall (vs. BAL): As we said with Mendenhall in Week 1 at Baltimore when we had him in this spot, it's tough to bench him in the majority of leagues. But Mendenhall had just two Fantasy points against the Ravens, who remain an elite run defense. Baltimore has allowed just two running backs to score this year and two to reach double digits in Fantasy points. Mendenhall does have three touchdowns in his past two home games against the Ravens in the regular season, but Mendenhall has just one game with double digits in Fantasy points in his past five outings, including good matchups against Indianapolis and Arizona. It's probably worth the risk to start Mendenhall based on his potential, but if you have another running back with a better matchup you might consider keeping Mendenhall on the bench. (Started in 92 percent of leagues in Week 8)

Victor Cruz (at NE): All the Giants receivers are worth starting this week, including Hakeem Nicks even if he's not at 100 percent. Cruz and Mario Manningham have an opportunity to succeed here just like they did in Week 8 against Miami when both had double digits in Fantasy points, and their value would rise if Nicks is out. Cruz has at least 98 receiving yards in four of his past five games with at least 15 Fantasy points in three of those outings. The Patriots have allowed eight touchdowns to opposing receivers and eight have reached double digits in Fantasy points. (Started in 61 percent of leagues in Week 8)Deion Branch (vs. NYG): As we said in this spot last week, Branch does a good job when Aaron Hernandez is healthy. It's likely because Branch gets single coverage, but he has at least six Fantasy points in the five games Hernandez has played and six combined in the two games Hernandez missed with a knee injury. Branch had four catches for 36 yards and a touchdown in Week 8 at Pittsburgh, and he had seven targets in the game. The Giants have allowed seven touchdowns to opposing receivers and six to reach double digits in Fantasy points this year. (Started in 54 percent of leagues in Week 8)Antonio Brown (vs. BAL): Brown is starting to look like the next standout receiver for the Steelers, and he has double digits in Fantasy points in his past two games. He had seven catches for 102 yards in Week 7 at Arizona and nine catches for 67 yards and a touchdown in Week 8 against the Patriots. If Hines Ward (ankle) returns this week that will have more of an impact on Emmanuel Sanders then Brown. He has 24 targets in his past two games, and the Ravens are susceptible to big plays. Baltimore has allowed five touchdowns to opposing receivers and four to reach double digits in Fantasy points. (Started in 53 percent of leagues in Week 8)Brandon Lloyd (at ARI): This is likely the last time you will see Lloyd in this section based on his start percentage, but he's worth highlighting since he has played well with A.J. Feeley starting in place of the injured Sam Bradford (ankle). There's a chance Bradford could return this week, which would help Lloyd's value, but he still had 12 catches for 127 yards and a touchdown the past two games with Feeley. He also has 25 targets over that span, and the Cardinals have allowed six touchdowns to opposing receivers and seven to reach double digits in Fantasy points. (Started in 79 percent of leagues in Week 8)Julio Jones (at IND): Jones is expected to return after missing the past two games with a hamstring injury, and we recommend starting him right away based on the matchup. The Colts have allowed 11 touchdowns to opposing receivers and eight to reach double digits in Fantasy points. Prior to getting hurt in Week 5 against Green Bay, Jones had posted back to back games with at least six catches for 115 yards with 17 catches for 242 yards combined over that span. He is still looking for his first NFL touchdown, but the Falcons are poised for a strong second half, including Jones. Look for him to come off the injured list and rebound with a solid outing.

Nate Washington (vs. CIN): Washington had an outstanding game against the Colts in Week 8 with 15 Fantasy points, but he could struggle in this matchup with the Bengals, who have allowed just two receivers to score touchdowns and four to reach double digits in Fantasy points. Washington had gone three games without a touchdown prior to last week, and he only has two games this season where he has scored. He also has just one touchdown in his past five meetings with Cincinnati, although all of those matchups came during his tenure with the Steelers. (Started in 63 percent of leagues in Week 8)Reggie Wayne (vs. ATL): Wayne is on the cusp of a big game, and hopefully it happens soon before Fantasy owners give up all hope. He might even score this week since the Falcons have allowed eight touchdowns to opposing receivers and five to reach double digits in Fantasy points. But Wayne has struggled too much with Curtis Painter to trust him as anything more than a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in standard leagues. Wayne has just one touchdown on the season and one game with double digits in Fantasy points, which was Week 1 at Houston. Since then his best game was Week 5 against Kansas City with four catches for 77 yards. (Started in 66 percent of leagues in Week 8)Plaxico Burress (at BUF): Burress is more likely to let you down this week then come close to his performance in Week 7 when he had four catches for 25 yards and three touchdowns. He's a tremendous red-zone threat, but if he doesn't score then his Fantasy value is minimal. He has five games this season with four Fantasy points or less, and he has one touchdown in three road games. He also hasn't had more than four catches in a game this year, and the Bills have allowed just four receivers to score against them this season. (Started in 32 percent of leagues in Week 7)Greg Little (at HOU): Little has become a big letdown with his performance the past two games with just nine catches for 59 yards combined against Seattle and San Francisco. He is still looking for his first touchdown of the season, and the Texans have only allowed one receiver to score against them in the past three games. Little continues to get a lot of work with 30 targets over the past three games, but he's not producing at a high enough level to consider him a starting Fantasy option in the majority of leagues. (Started in 29 percent of leagues in Week 8)Demaryius Thomas (at OAK): Thomas is going to have some positive moments like he did in Week 7 at Miami when he had three catches for 27 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets. Unfortunately, he's also going to have some down moments like he did in Week 8 against Detroit with one catch for 10 yards on three targets. Part of the problem is Thomas is inexperienced in just his second year, and his career has already been marred by several injuries. The other part of the problem is Tebow, who is the picture of inconsistency at quarterback. Thomas is just too risky to trust now even in a favorable matchup at the Raiders, who have allowed seven touchdowns to opposing receivers and five to reach double digits in Fantasy points. (Started in 22 percent of leagues in Week 8)

Bust alert: Steve Johnson (vs. NYJ): Johnson played well against the Jets last year in two meetings with three catches for 31 yards and a touchdown in one outing and five catches for 72 yards in the other. But those stats are misleading since Darrelle Revis sat out both games. This year, Revis has the New York secondary once again playing at a high level. The Jets have allowed only one receiver to score through the air since Week 1, and Revis should be able to match up with Johnson in single coverage. Johnson does have four touchdowns on the season but only one since Week 3, and he also has failed to reach double digits in Fantasy points in his past four games. (Started in 90 percent of leagues in Week 8)

Fred Davis (vs. SF): Davis continues to be one of the lone bright spots for the Redskins, and he keeps getting better each week. In his past three games he has 20 catches for 269 yards and a touchdown. He doesn't have the best matchup against the 49ers, but San Francisco has allowed two touchdowns to opposing tight ends and three to reach double digits in Fantasy points. He is dealing with an ankle injury, but he should play and give you another week of quality production. (Started in 74 percent of leagues in Week 8)Dustin Keller (at BUF): It might be a mistake to buy into Keller since this is another year where he got off to a hot start before slowing down. He had 16 catches for 249 yards and two touchdowns in his first three games but has only 10 catches for 123 yards in his past four outings. But I like what the Jets did with Keller in his last game against San Diego in Week 7 because he had eight targets, and I expect that to happen again this week against the Bills. Buffalo has allowed three touchdowns to opposing tight ends and four to reach at least eight Fantasy points. Keller scored twice at Buffalo last season and should be considered a starting option this week. (Started in 56 percent of leagues in Week 7)Brent Celek (vs. CHI): Celek is coming around at the right time with a great matchup against the Bears. He has 11 catches for 136 yards and two touchdowns in his past two games, and he has 18 targets over that span. We hope he stays this involved against Chicago since the Bears have allowed the most Fantasy points to opposing tight ends. Six have scored touchdowns and six have reached at least seven Fantasy points. Michael Vick said prior to the season that he wanted to get Celek more involved, and now it's finally coming to fruition. (Started in 22 percent of leagues in Week 8)

Sit 'Em

Scott Chandler (vs. NYJ): Chandler was at it again last week against Washington with two catches for 35 yards and two touchdowns. This was his second two-touchdown game of the season, and he has six touchdowns on the year. But don't go all in expecting Chandler to score double digits in Fantasy points against the Jets. Even with his six touchdowns he still has just two games with double digits in Fantasy points, and he's topped 16 receiving yards just twice this year. The Jets also have allowed just one tight end to score a touchdown, which was Antonio Gates in Week 7, and only two have more than five Fantasy points, which are Gates and Jason Witten in Week 1. Chandler, despite his touchdowns, isn't on the same level as Gates and Witten and is not worth starting in this matchup. (Started in 10 percent of leagues in Week 8)Dallas Clark (vs. ATL): The Falcons are turning out to be one of the best teams at defending tight ends, and they have an impressive resume so far. Atlanta has limited Celek (four Fantasy points), Kellen Winslow (two points), Jermichael Finley (six points), Greg Olsen (four points) and Brandon Pettigrew (three points), and Matt Spaeth is the only tight end to score against the Falcons this year in Week 1. No tight end has reached double digits in Fantasy points, and Clark has yet to reach double digits this season. The loss of Peyton Manning has ruined Clark, and I would consider dropping him for someone better if you need a bye-week replacement. (Started in 46 percent of leagues in Week 8)Jared Cook (vs. CIN): At some point the Titans are going to start using Cook more, but he heads into Week 9 with only two games with more than four targets. He has played well of late with two games with at least eight Fantasy points in his past four outings, but he's capable of doing so much more. The Bengals have allowed three touchdowns to opposing tight ends and four to reach at least nine Fantasy points, but until Cook shows some consistent production he remains a risky starting option in even deep formats. (Started in 23 percent of leagues in Week 8)

Bust alert: Heath Miller (vs. BAL): I've been wrong on Miller recently by saying he was a sit candidate, but he has at least eight Fantasy points in his past three games. The Steelers haven't needed him in protection as much with their offensive line playing better, but this should be a tough matchup. The Ravens have yet to allow a tight end to score a touchdown, and Miller has the best performance against Baltimore this season with three catches for 42 yards in Week 1. Miller has just 10 catches for 120 yards in his past five games against Baltimore in the regular season, which is an average of two catches for 24 yards a game.

Chiefs (vs. MIA): The Chiefs DST deserves plenty of credit for their performance the past two games against the Raiders and Chargers. They shut out Oakland in Week 7 with six interceptions and two defensive touchdowns and then had two more interceptions against San Diego in Week 8. Kansas City has 48 Fantasy points in a standard league the past two games with a favorable matchup this week against Miami. Dolphins quarterback Matt Moore has a turnover in all three of his starts, and he has been sacked 13 times over that span. The Chiefs don't have much of a pass rush with just nine sacks on the season, but they are forcing turnovers and have a quality matchup this week. (Started in 15 percent of leagues in Week 8)

Giants (at NE): The Giants DST did a nice job in Week 8 against the Dolphins with 15 Fantasy points in a standard league, and they are once again wreaking havoc against opposing offensive lines with 26 sacks. The Giants also have at least one interception in five games in a row with eight over that span, but this will be a difficult matchup against the Patriots. While Brady has been more turnover prone this season, New England typically does well in limiting mistakes, especially at home. And the Giants DST has had two of its worst games on the road this season with just six Fantasy points at Washington in Week 1 and 10 Fantasy points at Arizona in Week 5. (Started in 89 percent of leagues in Week 8)

Matt Bryant (at IND): Bryant is coming off his best game of the season in Week 7 at Detroit with three field goals and two extra points, and he has another favorable matchup this week against the Colts. Indianapolis has allowed six kickers to make multiple field goals this season, and they have allowed six field goals in the past three games against Mike Nugent, John Kasay and Rob Bironas. Bryant is worth using as your starting kicker for the rest of the season with the Falcons playing eight of their final nine games indoors or on turf. (Started in 78 percent of leagues in Week 7)

Billy Cundiff (at PIT): Cundiff had a solid game against the Steelers in Week 1 with two field goals and three extra points, but he likely won't be as productive in the rematch. Cundiff had the best performance against Pittsburgh this year, and the Steelers have only allowed multiple field goals at home once with Josh Scobee in Week 6. Cundiff also doesn't have the best history kicking at Heinz Field. In his past three regular season games at Pittsburgh, Cundiff is just 3 of 4 on field goals with six extra points.

(1:29 pm ET)Ravens wide receiver Breshad Perriman could be sidelined for another week after sustaining a knee bruise during a practice last week, reports The Baltimore Sun. Perriman has missed the last two practices as a result of the injury.

(1:12 pm ET)Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills was a limited participant during Sunday's practice due to a left calf injury, reports the Sun Sentinel. Stills has been suffering from the injury since June.

"The players know their body the best. They are the guys out there, so we're utilizing him as often as possible," coach Joe Philbin said of Stills. "If something is not right, we'll cut it back a little bit."
